Hi, I see there was a news article in the financial express yesterday about GE activities in India regards their coal power exit strategy - the news is out there it's just how you interpret it in line with our project. Different countries/Geographies will be developing different exit strategies' regards coal power. The west looks like they are ready to push the button as they believe they have the infrastructure now in place to move to green(er) alternatives that will fil the Gap but other geographies in the world are maybe not so fortunate and will not able to turn on those alternatives for quite a few years to come.
To a certain extent I agree with Chrishutch I do not care if it is GE or some other Company supplying the technology. I think Mozambique (and other African states) have the right to and need access to significant increases in power generation and coal power is one of the options right on their door step, ready to be harvested (using greener technologies than the west have used over the last 100+ years).

General Electric Company (GE) has expressed the intention to exit the new build coal power market across the world, but GE Power India (GEPIL) — the American multinational firm’s Indian subsidiary — is still assessing the holding company’s decision and its impact on business activities in the country. General Electric Company (GE) has expressed the intention to exit the new build coal power market across the world, but GE Power India (GEPIL) — the American multinational firm’s Indian subsidiary — is still assessing the holding company’s decision and its impact on business activities in the country. “Unlike a number of other countries globally, India continues to rely on coal for base load power,” GEPIL said in response to FE’s queries. GEPIL will therefore continue to focus its efforts on maintaining its business in India aligned with the local market dynamics and the national interests of India,” it said, indicating that the company’s transaction with coal is not yet over, at least in India.
